I'm 15 and have interest in starting to play Footy. I've always been a huge football fan but I've never played. Except when I was in Grade 5 I played 5 or 6 games for my school team and although I wasn't good, I really enjoyed it.

Lately I've had huge interest in joining a club but I'm super worried that at 15 I'll be way too behind that it's not worth it.

I'm 6 foot and strong, and my stamina is pretty decent. My biggest skills are handballing, I'm an accurate kick but not a very long kick and I have pretty good hands and I work really hard.

I probably won't play in the AFL (I mean who knows, maybe I'll pull a Mason Cox, he hadn't heard of the game till 23) but is it too late to start playing for a local club? What position could I be best in? Any advice would be awesome

EDIT: I have a Basketball Background™
